A person who steals cigarette butts out of public ashtrays and smokes them. They are usually very sneaky and attempt to do it when no one is watching to avoid the embarrassment of being caught doing something so profoundly disgusting. Butt bandits are usually the very poor and the underage.
I remember I left a half smoked cigarette in the ashtray outside of work on my last break and now it's gone. It must have been stolen by a butt bandit.

The sensor installed inside the drivers seat of most modern vehicles. It is designed to detect the thickness of the drivers wallet and activate when the drivers wallet becomes too fat. It usually triggers vague and inconsequential check engine lights that can only be diagnosed and fixed by the dealership at an exorbitant price. The sensor is usually designed to activate about 3-6 months after the car is out of warranty. Once the sensor has detected that the wallet has become sufficiently thinner it will then wait 6-9 months before reactivating and will continue to do so in perpetuity.
The wallet sensor triggered my check engine light. Only the dealership has the equipment to read the code. They said it will be $300 for a diagnosis.

A 32-Bit CD-ROM based video game system developed by SEGA which was released in 1995 and ultimately was a commercial failure outside of the Japanese market. The Saturn was the second console designed during SEGA's "Planet Projects." The other two consoles designed were the SEGA Jupiter which became the 32X and the SEGA Neptune which was canceled before any working prototypes were finished.
The SEGA Saturn was originally designed to be the fastest 2D console on the market, and it still holds this title proudly, but after Sony announced the fully 3D capable Playstation SEGA decided to hastily add 3D capability to the Saturn. The resulting hardware ultimately became the Saturn's downfall. Dual CPUs and the multiple audio and video co-processors brought the Saturn's total processor count to 8. This unorthodox architecture made the Saturn notoriously difficult to program for and discouraged third party developers who decided it would be easier to program games for the Sony Playstation and Nintendo 64 instead. Although the Saturn has more on board RAM and more processing power then the Playstation no game programmers were ever able to fully utilize the Saturn's hardware. The only game ever designed to take full advantage of the Saturn's hardware was Shenmue which unfortunately was never released for the system and was eventually moved to the SEGA Dreamcast. However working demos of Shenmue showed impressively detailed fully 3D environments and animation but because the game was never completed and no new games are being developed for the system the true graphical capabilities of the SEGA Saturn may never be known.
